Business Laws in the Nordic Countries

A law guide to the Nordic countries has not previously existed. While there are numerous similarities among the four legal systems, minor differences could have harmful and sometimes costly ramifications for a business operation in the region. This book deals with all the practical aspects relevant to formation, running and closing of operations, labour law, tax law and most other aspects of the legal environment. The authors, lawyers from four law firms in the Nordic countries, have found it important to create a legal guide for business operations in the region. The guide has been undertaken by a substantial number of lawyers in the four countries whose work has made it possible to assemble the facts rendered herein. It is hoped that it will be an important tool to business managers, in-house counsel, auditors, consultants and lawyers working for enterprises operating in the region.
